    Amazing job! One slight thing is that around 0:13 I saw the lightsaber blade move a tad bit off the handle,

    Lightsabers always take a long time... Now imagine how long it would take using the "classic" CG method (manually rotoscoping a plane layer), much less manual airbrush work in the original trilogy! 

    Looks good! Love your son's "Wow!"

    @Bry_man - Looks great! I was actually afraid your son was going to hurt himself!  :^O  lol

    @Triem23 - It takes forever. I still wake up in a cold sweat from rotoscoping the "My New Toy" (sonic screwdriver/laser/light saber) vid I did last year!
